+"A new section has been added to the SysV Initscripts section, discussing
+the proper use of subsys locking. Even though Fedora packages should no
+longer be using SysV Initscripts as a primary service mechanism, Red Hat
+Enterprise Linux and EPEL do. Additionally,
+Red Hat points partners to the Fedora Guidelines when they build for RHEL.

+The PHP Packaging guidelines have been updated to include guidance about

+how to handle explicit Requires on PHP extensions, and how to handle a

+A short section on the Group tag in Fedora packages has been added.
